THE KISS OF VENGEANCE Chapter Thirty-nine.
CHAPTER 39: The Silk Salvation Francesca’s Pov The trip back to New York was long and quiet. We flew on Vincenzo's plane. He sat across from me and worked. He did not talk to me. He did not ask about my arm or my sleep. He just ran his empire. I watched him. I watched the way he talked on the phone. The way he made decisions that meant life or death for people I did not know. He looked like a King. A tired King.I was thinking about the safe. I did not get the last number. I was so close. Now I was back in New York. The safe was far away. The truth was far away.When we landed, a lot of cars met us at the airport. It was a huge show of power. I was taken straight to his main house. The big one in the city. It was like a fortress. Too many guards. Too much money.I went to the room they gave me. It was not my old small room. It was a suite. Too big. Too fancy. I did not like it. It felt like a cage with soft pillows.I told the guards I needed to rest. I needed silence. I waited one

CHAPTER 38: The Devil Vincenzo’s Pov I closed the phone. I put it in my pocket. My blood was cold. The Marino clan. She was related to the rival. She was not just a doctor. She was an enemy. A spy.I looked at her. She was watching the ocean. She looked calm. She looked innocent. It was a good disguise.“Tell me about your family, Francesca,” I said. My voice was very low. I did not look at her. I looked straight ahead.She turned her head slowly. She looked at me. She did not look worried.“My family? I do not have a family. I am an orphan. I told you this. My parents died a long time ago. I live alone,” she said.“They died a long time ago. How long is a long time?” I asked her.“When I was young. I do not like to talk about it. It is sad. I moved on. I focus on my work,” she answered.“You have an uncle. Alessandro Marino. Is he your uncle?” I pressed her.Her face changed a little bit. A small thing. A twitch around her eyes. But I saw it. I was trained to see everything.“Aless

CHAPTER 37: A Dangerous DistractionVincenzo’s Pov I decided we were not going to stay inside the whole time. I told Marco to get the car ready. I told him we were going out. Not for business. For a drive.Marco looked confused. That was normal. All my men were confused these days. I was confused too.“Boss, are we going to the docks? Or the meeting with the Chicago people?” Marco asked me.“No. We are going to the beach. And then maybe we will drive up the coast. I do not know yet. Just get the big car. And bring three cars behind us. Not four. Three,” I commanded.“The beach, Boss? But you hate sand. And the Chicago people are waiting for your call,” he said. He did not say it like a question. He said it like I was making a mistake.I looked at him hard. “I am the boss, Marco. I will call the Chicago people later. I am going out. With Francesca. Get the car ready now.”He nodded fast. He left to do what I said.I went to Francesca’s room. I knocked once and then opened the door. Sh

CHAPTER 36: Three More Days Francesca’s Pov I started on the third number. Right again. This one felt harder. The dial was stiff. I needed to use more pressure. I was not supposed to use more pressure. I needed to be light.I pulled back my hand. I stopped. I took a deep breath.Do not rush. Do not get caught.I thought about the last number again. What would a man like Vincenzo choose? Not his own birthday. Maybe the day his father forced him to kill. Maybe the day he became the devil. The day he lost his life.I turned the dial slowly. I was so focused. I was almost there. I felt the third click. Yes. One more number.Left. I was turning the dial back. Back past the other numbers. Back to the start.I was just starting the last turn. I was ready to settle the final click. I was breathing shallow.Then I heard it. A sound from outside the study door.Footsteps. Heavy footsteps. They were coming fast. They were not Marco’s steps. They were Vincenzo’s steps.I threw the tool kit unde

CHAPTER 35: The Hard Reminder Francesca’s Pov My face was still burning. I walked fast down the long hall. I locked the door to my bedroom hard, i put my back against the wood. I tried to slow my breathing.It did not work.The kiss was a mistake. It was a bad mistake, i told myself that. I kept telling myself that he is the enemy and that he is the killer, he is the one who took my parents but his story. His story was sad, he was only a fifteen years old boy. That is too young to kill a man, that is too young to be a devil.I felt confused. I did not like being confused, confusion is weak. I am not weak, i am strong and i am the Red Reaper.When he kissed me, I did not stop him. That is the worst part. I kissed him back, i let my guard down. I let the pity for the boy make me forget the man. The man is a killer. The man is my target, the man is the leader of the Lombardi clan. I cannot forget that.I walked to the window. It was dark outside, i could still see the city lights. I fe

CHAPTER 34: I Decide the Rules Vincenzo’s Pov We got back to the place. It was a fancy apartment that was used for business trips. It was too big, i did not like places this big. They were hard to watch.I sat on the couch in the living room. Francesca went to the kitchen. She came back with two bottles of water. She gave one to me.“The arm is fine, you do not have fever,” she said. She was still in doctor mode.“I told you I am fine. I am never sick,” I said. I opened the bottle.“Everyone gets sick. Everyone can be hurt,” she told me. She sat in a chair across the room, not next to me.I looked at her. She was too calm and quiet and it was making me crazy.“You do not like my city,” I said.“It is fine but it is loud. You are louder,” she answered.I laughed a little bit. She was the only one who talked to me this way and i liked it too much.“You know…. While I was fifteen, I had a fight with my father, a big one. He wanted me to stop going to school. He wanted me to start train
